The European Space Agency (ESA) has now open applications for the Drop Your Thesis! Programme.

The initiative designed for university students - from Bachelor’s to PhD level – intends to give them the “opportunity to perform scientific or technological research in microgravity conditions”.

Through the Drop Your Thesis! programme, ESA will allow the participant students to have the chance of performing experimental research in facilities not usually accessible to students, such as the ZARM Drop Tower.
